Here is the problem... on the boot, doing an emerge, or env-update I get this...
Code:

>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
 * Caching service dependencies...
 *  Service 'fcron' already provide 'cron'!;
 *  Not adding service 'vcron'...
 *  Service 'fcron' already provide 'cron'!;
 *  Not adding service 'vixie-cron'...                                                                        [ ok ]


I know what happened... it was my fault. I just do not know what to do to fix it...
Ideas anyone? :)

Supposing that what happened is that you added multiple daemons to control you cronjobs, the commands you are looking for are

rc-update show
and
rc-update del [package_name]

For instance, rc-update del vcron (this will delete vcron from all runlevels)

Code:

root@gentoo jeff # env-update

Code:
rm -i /etc/init.d/fcron
rm -i /etc/init.d/vcron
rc-update add vixie-cron default


should do the trick.

tomk pointed out that there are a lot of people having issues with this. The official solution thread is here: Minor service dependancy annoyance... Please post there for further assistance on this topic.

Moving from Installing Gentoo.
